Re: Anybody ever use these seats in a square?

happy new year...I have a set in my 77' C10 that replaced a stock bench seat. You don't say if you are replacing existing buckets, or going to them from a bench seat. The brackets that they supplied weren't too bad, had to make some shims out of flat stock to make things line up...one thing about the seats I wanted was to keep the top of the seat even with the back window, and they do that great. Seats are pretty comfortable, but maybe a bit too thick from back to front. Had mine for about 2 yrs, truck is more of a toy and gets driven during nice weather etc., but the seats are holding up nice.

Re: Anybody ever use these seats in a square?

I have N 87 with a bench. It needs recovering and some new padding and I am looking at options. Mine isnt a daily driver either but I like the console feature. I have a dog(lab) so the bench works for that. With the console up would it be good for a dog? I would put a pad down when with the dog.

I like the colors, I have a red interior.

They look very very nice but if I was spending that much money I would want to have some seats with headrests. Too many people have gotten killed in simple rear end collisions because they didn't have headrests. With all the distracted driving nowadays you need all the protection you can get out there.

Looked at these for a long time, but never got them. They were a bit expensive for me to gamble on. They look pretty good though. There's all sorts of different ones that they sell for squares, including high backs, ones with head rests, etc.
